David Salituro

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Anton Kraous raised to 85,000 under the gun and Damir Zhugralin moved all in from the big blind. Kraous quickly called for 985,000.

Anton Kraous: 9♦9♣ All in
Damir Zhugralin: 5♦5♠

Kraous had Zhugralin dominated with his bigger pocket pair, and Zhugralin couldn't find any miracles on the 10♣10♠7♦Q♦8♥ board as Kraous doubled up.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Santhosh Suvarna moved all in for 200,000 under the gun as action folded to Damir Zhugralin who snap-called in the big blind.

Santhosh Suvarna: J♣9♣ All in
Damir Zhugralin: Q♥Q♦

The 7♠6♠5♥ board gave Suvarna some hope with a straight draw, but he missed the 5♦ turn and 10♦ river as Zhugralin's queens stayed in the lead to send Suvarna to the rail in 21st place.

Calum Grant

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Andrea Dato opened to 80,000 from the cutoff and called when Anton Wigg made it 250,000 from the button.

Dato promptly check-called bets of 150,000 and 600,000, without using any time banks, for the final board to read 10♦4♥3♠A♦10♠.

The action on the river went check-check, and the cards were tabled. Dato had 5♦5♠ for a pair of fives but Wigg's A♥Q♣ made a pair on the turn to take the pot.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Santhosh Suvarna raised to 90,000 on the button and Anton Kraous called in the small blind.

The flop came A♥7♠2♥ and Suvarna bet 80,000. Kraous then moved all in for 295,000 and Suvarna snap-called.

Anton Kraous: K♦K♥ All in
Santhosh Suvarna: A♠5♦

Suvarna had outflopped Kraous's pocket kings and left him on the verge of elimination, but Kraous spiked the K♠ on the turn to make a set. The river was the Q♦ and Kraous doubled up, leaving Suvarna on an extreme short stack.

Frank Visser

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Artsiom Lasouski saw J♦9♦ in the hijack and raised to 60,000. Georgios Tsouloftas three-bet to 210,000 in the small blind with A♦4♠ before Lasouski repopped it to 400,000.

The raising was not done yet, however, as Tsouloftas spent one time bank before shoving all in for 1,400,000. Lasouski had no option but to let his hand go as Tsouloftas took down the pot preflop.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Philip Joyce raised to 60,000 in early position and Eleftherios Sinnos called on the button, as did big blind Bobby James.

The flop came A♥J♣9♠ and Joyce continued for 100,000. Only Sinnos called to see the 4♦ turn.

Joyce bet 300,000 and Sinnos again called. The river was the 4♠ and Joyce slowed down and checked. Sinnos then moved all in for 1,500,000 and Joyce snap-folded.

Kai Cocklin

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Stefan Toderita shoved from the hijack for a little over 400,000, and Damir Zhugralin also shoved from the button.

Stefan Toderita: K♥Q♦ All in
Damir Zhugralin: 9♥9♣

Toderita was facing a crucial flip that he needed to win if he wanted to remain in the Main Event. The flop of 4♣3♣2♦ was low and changed nothing, and the J♠ wasn't the paint that Toderita was looking for. When the 8♥ hit the river, Toderita wished his tablemates good luck and headed to the payout desk.

Kai Cocklin

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The action folded around to Adrien Quetelart in the small blind, who shoved for around 170,000. Timo Kamphues snap-called from the big blind.

Adrien Quetelart: Q♥10♣ All in
Timo Kamphues: K♦7♦

Quetelart was live and did pair his queen on the Q♦8♦K♣ flop, but Kamphues paired his king and picked up a flush draw. The 6♠ river changed nothing, and neither did the J♣ river, which meant Quetelart was eliminated.

Tasyurek's Big Slick Holds Up

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kai Cocklin

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Mikhail Shalamov opened to 60,000 from middle position and Yisha Chen called in the cutoff before Halil Tasyurek shoved for 425,000 from the button. Once the action got back to Shalamov, he shoved, and Chen folded.

Halil Tasyurek: A♣K♠ All in
Mikhail Shalamov: A♦J♠

Tasyurek was in front and maintained his lead after the 5♣2♣5♠ flop, but that also brought around some chop outs. The 9♣ turn improved Tasyurek to a flush draw, which removed some outs for Shalamov. Tasyurek's double-up was confirmed on the 4♠ river as his ace-king held up, which boosted his stack to around a million.
